Dear Linda,
Services
Staff has reviewed your documents for the M&O Tire & Automotive
Service Center P.U.D. (Lots 1 & 2 of the Gateway at Harmony Road
P.U.D., Third Filing) that were submitted to the City on April 24,
1995, and would like to offer the following comments:
1. A copy of the comments received from U.S.West is attached to
this letter.
2. The Landscape Plan must include the standard note about
"landscaping being completed or a deposit for 125% of the
estimated cost of landscaping by a letter of credit or other
acceptable collateral.....".
3. One additional handicapped parking stall is required, bringing
them to a total of 3 spaces. The City can treat both Lots 1 &
2 as one parking lot for this use.
4. The City would like to see landscape islands up at the north
end near the store (see enclosed Site Plan forwarded to Ripley
Associates).
5. The subdivision plat needs to describe the "monuments to be
set".
6. What about a utility easement, north to south, across the east
side of ]Lot 3? The plats on either side of this plat have a
utility easement in this location.
7. An additional fire hydrant, capable of providing fire flows of
1,500 gallons per minute with 20 pounds per square inch of
residual pressure, must be located on the site, at the
intersection of Mason Street and Kensington Drive.
8. The comments received from the Water/Wastewater Department are
included on a red -lined Landscape Plan forwarded to Ripley
Associates and on a set of red -lined utility plans that have
been forwarded to Water, Waste & Land.

Maken II, Gateway at: Harmony Road Se ember 4, 1998
• Add the following; note to the general notes: The developer is responsible for all costs for the
initial instillation of traffic signing and striping for this development related to the
development local street operations. In addition the developer is responsible for all costs for
�t traffic signing and striping related to directing traffic access to and from the development
(e.g. All signing and striping for a right turn lane into the development site).
Modify the first general note to indicate approval of the plans rather than the date of the
development agreement as we will not have a development agreement with this project.
5k • , The retaining walls that are being shown on the utility plans have not been shown before,
,,�Jlease provide cross sections for these. What side is being retained? Do the walls or the
P`•�agrading taper at the ends? There is a telephone line being shown right under the base of the
d' i�`�' 11, this will probably need to be relocated. These walls are NOT shown on the site plan
I L;Pa d if they are to exist need to be shown. As these were not previously approved I assume a
minor amendment to the site plan is needed to add the walls.
The curbing on the north side of the property does not match the site plan. Cfev• 9��e �^
• Provide handicap ramp details.(i/ m ecf ;V6r)
Comments on the site and landscape plans.
• The legal description on the site plan does not match the utility plans. The property line is
being shown extending out into College Ave ROW
• The retaining walls now shown on the utility plans are not on the site/landscape plan. Minor
amendment needed? On the S. property line the wall and the landscaping appear to conflict.
• Not all the ramp and sidewalk connections shown on the utility plans are on the site plans.
• Site plan references a trash enclosure detail on the landscape plan - this does not exist.
• need to show the fire hydrant in the landscape island and if this affects the landscaping.
• The id sign is shown in a different location on the utility plans and as shown on the site plan
encroaches t he Row. That is not allowed.

construction of parking lot and sidewalk improvements at the entrance to the McDonald's property.
This agreement will not be recorded at the County and will cease to exist upon completion of the
construction.
Your signature on the statement below will certify that you have reviewed this agreement and
the easement and do hereby grant said easement.
Sincerely,
WEE SS/TEC
J. Thoma Knostman, P.E.
Project Engineer

EXHIBIT A
A temporary construction easement located in the SE1/4, Section 35, Township 7 North, Range 69
West of the 6th p.m., City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado, and being more
particularly described as follows: Commencing for reference at the northwest corner of the Gateway
at Harmony Road P.U.D., Second Filing, a subdivision of record at Reception No. 89025195 of said
Larimer County records; thence S 89 degrees 46 minutes 27 seconds E a distance of 35.07 feet to
the point of beginning of the herein described parcel of land; thence continuing along said P.U.D., S
89 degrees 46 minutes 27 seconds E a distance of 170.00 feet; thence S 00 degrees 13 minutes 33
seconds W a distance of 40.00 feet; thence N 89 degrees 46 minutes 27 seconds W a distance of
170.00 feet; thence N 00 degrees 13 minutes 33 seconds E a distance of 40.00 feet to the point of
beginning, containing (3800 square feet of land, more of less.
This easement will cease to exist upon approval of owner after construction has been completed to
owner's satisfaction.
U]
The Light & Power Department has the following comments to
offer:
a. A transformer location will need to be coordinated. It
needs to be near a paved surface for access by line
trucks; however, it should not be located in a prominent
place along the street where it cannot be adequately
screened or visually mitigated.
b. The shade trees along Mason Street and Kensington Drive
will need to conform to the City's street light/street
tree standard.
C. The 13.55' wide drainage easement needs to be an "access,
drainage, and utility easement" so that Light & Power can
get. to Lot 3.
d. Who is responsible for development charges for the
parking lot on Lot 2? A parking lot is considered
development and the normal electric development charges
will apply. It would appear that M&O Tire & Automotive
will be responsible.
10. The Transportation Department would like to have M&O Tire &
Automotive put up signage that would control exits from the
McDonald's right -in only access from South College Avenue.
11. The Engineering Department has the following comments to
offer:
a. Site Plan
* Delineate approximate detention area.
* Provide ramps at the south entrance (or are they
existing?).
* Legal description does not agree with the
subdivision plat. Please revise accordingly.
b. Subdivision Plat
* Establish a tie between the basis of bearing (SE
corner of Section 35) and the point of beginning.
C. Utility Plans
* An off -site easement is needed for drainage
discharge to a storm sewer to the east of this
property.
* Sheet 3 - suggest moving MH D-7 south 20' (+/-) and
provide a 45 degree ell in a 15" RCP in lieu of
moving the light pole.
* Title Sheet 1
- number the sheets.
- make the title agree with the subdivision
plat.
correct Note 12.
* Details Sheet 6 - show section through the orifice
plate detail, show reinforcing for the headwall.
12. A copy of the comments received from the Stormwater Utility is
attached to this letter.
13. The Autumn Blaze Maple shouldn't be used in this quantity as
a City street tree along Mason Street. If the applicant wishes
to use experimental trees, use only 1 or 2 as street trees or
place them on private property.
14. It appears that this plan could have difficulty meeting the
drainage criteria due to the large amount of parking and
impervious area on -site.
15. The pedestrian movement on -site, as well as from this site to
adjacent development, is very awkward. Sidewalks providing
pedestrian direction and safe movement are needed.
16. There is question as to whether this proposal, as presently
designed, can meet a number of All Development Criteria in the
Land Development Guidance System. These criteria are:
A-2.1 vehicular, Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation -
relating to incorporation into the "neighborhood" and
community transportation network safely. Pedestrian and
bicycle movement seems especially difficult.
A-2.2 Building Placement and Orientation - relating to
integration into the surrounding area and aesthetic and
privacy considerations. The massiveness of the north elevation
and its placement on the site, relative to Kensington Drive,
is of concern.
A-2.4 Vehicular Circulation and Parking - generally, =•ame as
A-2.1.
A-2.6 Pedestrian Circulation - generally, same as A-2.1.
A-2.7 Architecture - relating to height, bulk, mass, scale of
the north elevation (mostly), the architectural character,
building materials. The height, relatively unbroken facade
(materials and color, lack of windows, doors, reveals, etc.),
and setback from the street is of concern. Also, as expressed
in the Conceptual Review comment letter dated May 3, 1994,
"The M&O Tire building will be expected to use the similar
exterior materials and architectural forms that are
establislhed within the center. The predominant color in the
center is a combination of gray tones. Roofing materials will
have to match the other two existing buildings. Again, please
refer to the approved plans for both Mcdonald's and Jiffy
Lube/Texaco for a detailed specification of the approved
building materials". Both of these site are now in existence.
The color gray is not negotiable.
A-2.12 setbacks - The building is 20' in height, has a north
elevation length of 1161, and is set back only 25' from
Kensington Drive. The proposed landscaping does not seem to be
sufficient to properly mitigate the building impact to the
north.
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional
comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and
reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be aware
of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability to stay
on schedule for the June 26, 1995 Planning and Zoning Board
hearing:
Plan revisions are due no later than the end of the working day,
June 8, 1995. Please contact me for the number of folded revisions
required for each document.
PMT's, renderings, and 8 folded copies of final revisions (for the
Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due by 3:00 p.m. on June 19,
1995.
Please contact me at 221-6750 if you have questions or concerns
related to these comments. I would like to schedule a meeting with
you as soon as possible, if necessary, to discuss these comments.

Dear Linda:
Staff has reviewed the revisions for the Maken II PUD, Amended Preliminary and
Final and offer the following comments:
The Current Planning Department offers the following comments:
a. The name of the PUD should be changed. This is part of the Gateway at
Harmony PUD and should be noted as such.
b, The Business Service Uses point chart will be used to determine the
appropriateness of the land use. I concur with your calculation of
allowable points.
C. Please provide information about any restrictions being placed on window
siginage. This information should be included in the plan notes.
d. The ownership signature block still references 1995. This should be
changed to 1997.
e. The signature block for the secretary of the Planning and Zoning Board
references 1996. Since this will not be heard by the Board until January,
at the earliest, this should be changed to 1997.
f. The Interim Design Standards and Guidelines for All Commercial
Development requires that a "context diagram" be submitted for any
commercial development. Please refer to the standards and guidelines
document for what it should contain.
g, Site and Landscape Plans
• Notes on the site plan are identical to the notes on the landscape
plan. These should be changed to reflect general notes related to
the site plan.
• Building coverage is indicated as 11,685 square feet yet the traffic
study was completed for a 6,800 square foot project. Please
submit a revised study or justify that the current study is adequate.
• Bike parking is indicated on the legend of both the site and
landscape plan but is not shown on the plan. Please indicate
where the bike parking will be located.
• A sidewalk connection from walkway along College Avenue should
be provided near the north end of the site as well as a connection
from this site to the property to the north. This latter connection
should be an extension of the walkway in front of the building.
• The walkway adjacent to the entry off of College Avenue should
either 1) continue around the curb section to the parking lot or 2)
cross the auto entryway with a walkway to the landscape island
then across the parking area to the building. Please indicate how
potential pedestrian and automobile conflicts will be addressed. At
a minimum, all pedestrian crossings of the parking area should be
highlighted in someway to alert drivers of the possibility of
pedestrians.
• There is no walkway connection from the parking area on the west
side of the building to the tenant entrances on the south and east
sides. This connection should be provided so pedestrians are not
forced into the parking/drive area.
• The applicant should work with the property owner to the north to
provide a walkway connection from their property to the applicant's
property. A walkway should also be provided in the landscape
island in the southwest corner of the applicant's property to provide
a pedestrian access to McDonald's. As before, all pedestrian
crossings of the parking area should be highlighted in someway to
alert drivers of the possibility of pedestrians.
• Only one trash enclosure is shown on the site and landscape plans
in the northwest portion of the site. While it's preferable to maintain
this away from the front of the building, it seems extremely _
inconvenient for the tenant of the front portion of the building. An
additional trash enclosure, properly screened, should be
considered toward the front of the building or, perhaps, one could
be located on the Jiffy Lube site for joint use.
h. Architectural Elevations
• Please label all elevations as north, south, east and west.
Elevations on the southwest corner of the building do not appear to
match the building footprint shown on the site and landscape plans.
The elevations appear to show the corner of the building being
angled (is it an entryway?) while the footprint on the site and
landscape plans show a 90 degree corner.
• A decorative horizontal band, in contrasting color to the gray,
around the exterior of the building would enhance the building
elevations. We suggest it be located approximately four to five feet
from the ground.
• The walls of the building should not be smooth masonry. At a
minimum, the portion of the wall below the decorative band
recommended above should be split -face or ground -face to add
variety to the elevations. Materials and color should be similar to
the Texaco/Jiffy Lube directly to the north.
• The north elevation is a significant expanse of space. This area
should be broken up in some way with design features that add
relief and variety.
• The roof should not be 3-tab or flat shingles. Please specify "high
profile" or "shadowline" shingles and provide a sample or cut -sheet
with revisions.
The City Forester offers the following comments:
a. Please add the following notes on the landscape plan:
"All landscape beds will be mulched with "
"Existing trees will be pruned to City Forestry medium prune standards.
b. Add 2 or 3 ornamental trees in the landscape zone between the parking
lot and sidewalk to meet screening requirements.
Poudre Fire Authority offers the following comments:
a. Building tenant spaces exceed 5,000 square feet and must be further
reduced to meet local building code requirements. An alternative would
be to fire sprinkler the entire structure.
b. If the building is equipped with a fire sprinkler system, a "Knox Box" is
required.
The Public Service Company requires that a location suitable to Public Service
Company requirements be provided at which to group 3 natural gas meters.
The Zoning Department offers the following comments:
a. There may be some conflict at the right -in -only at College Avenue with
cars driving north from McDonalds to the proposed project. A "Do Not
Enter" sign should be placed to avoid this while still allowing entrance to
the site from College Avenue.
b. Please show building envelope dimensions.
Building Inspection comments are attached.
Please see the attached comments from the Advance Planning Department (return
redlines with revisions).
U S West offers the following comments:
a. These plans do not show existing telephone cable in developer -provided
conduit. The proposed utilities may conflict with the existing telephone
cable.
b. Review of these plans should not be construed as a commitment that
telephone facilities sufficient to serve this project are presently available.
U S West will provide telephone service in accordance with the rates and
tariffs on file with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
G. The: owner is responsible for provision of all conduit, ditch crossings.and
street crossings for telephone facilities within the project. The owner also
provides terminal room space (usually 8' X 4') and power for the
telephone terminal, generally in a utility room. Contact the U S West
engineer for conduit specifications for the telephone entrance cable.
d. Any relocation of existing telephone facilities required by these plans will
be !,paid for by the developer.
The water and Wastewater Department offers the following comments:
a. Curb stops and meter pits must be located in landscaped areas.
b. Include all City standard general notes and details.
C. Include a copy of the plat.
d. Show location of water and sewer mains and services on landscape
plans.
e. Coordinate landscape with civil design and provide required landscape
separations.
f. Put grading and drainage on separate sheet.
g. The method shown for relocating existing fire hydrant will require water to
be shut off for an extended period. It is suggested that existing fire
hydrant be abandoned and reinstalled at an acceptable new location
using a wet tap.
h. See the landscape (attached) and utility plans for more comments (please
return redline plans with revisions).
Comments from the Engineering Department are attached.
This concludes staff comments at this time. Additional comments may be forthcoming
as the various departments and reviewing agencies continue to review this request. In
order to stay on schedule for the January 27, 1997 Planning and Zoning Board hearing,
please not the following deadlines:
• Plan revisions (folded and not staples together) are due by noon on
